The New Army Direct Ordering Program

March 24, 2009 posted by OldWarrior

3rd IDThe Army Direct Ordering Program is a new program for Operation Iraqi Freedom, and Operation Enduring Freedom soldiers to exchange worn and ineffective pieces of organizational clothing and individual equipment (OCIE) for new equipment. Whoever came up with this idea certainly came up with a good one. I can speak from my own experiences about this.

During my time in Operation Desert Storm I had only two uniforms and two pairs of boots. The desert is unforgiving when it comes to boots and uniforms. By the time that I got ready to leave the desert my uniforms were in tatters. The pockets were ripped off of my pants, the knees and elbows were worn out on the uniforms, and the soles were hanging off of my boots. I was presented with two new uniforms right before I got on the plane to come home though. I guess that we had to look good for the cameras.

I’ll tell you what, we have the same program for your custom military ring purchase. You can always exchange it when it begins to look worn. All of the rings that we do for you are guaranteed for life and you can send them in anytime you have a problem.
